just for sheets & giggles, I added my dd-wrt router into the mix. When I 
setup my wrt160N I forgot to add security to the wireless. NOT that it 
MATTERS where I live, 400 feet from another structure & 5 miles from any 
known intelligence..
SO, I have an INTERNET<-adsl modem <-wrt160N router w/open 
wireless<-wrt54GL w/ddwrt & WPA2 secure wireless.
I fired up my windows laptop, told it to connect to dd-wrt, it did, 
google works, ipconfig says 192.168.1.103 and I have NO idea how it gets 
that address. My adsl local network is 192.168.10.1-xxx . I thought for 
sure I gave the wrt160 a local IP of 192.168.2.1 . ah well, it works. 
What I will eventually try to end up with is:
INTERNET<-adsl modem<- wrt160 with wireless secured

I think I can probably just replace my open 160n with the secured 54gl.. 
I think.. should work:)
anyway, nothing better to do on a rainy saturday morning.
